England competes in this pentangular, its only match outside the British Isles, against two Belgian teams (Flemish and French speaking), the Netherlands and the Nordrhein-Westfalische (NW Germany) team. The team spans all age groups from W and M14 to W and M60+: 42 team members in all. This year it is England’s turn to stage the competition and Happy Herts Orienteering Club have kindly agreed to host it, in conjunction with the Southern Championships, on behalf of the English Orienteering Council.
